Things are looking up at last. Dad goes home on Sunday. My brother will be collecting him from the convalescent home and settling him into his own place. Unfortunately I won't see him until Sunday evening as we have been invited out to Sunday lunch with friends, a rare treat.
AND.. we got Beth's blood and urine test results today. They were all clear, so the problem is just her heart. As well as taking the Fortekor tablets, she will have to take Vetmedin tablets twice a day to make her heart pump harder. She will be on these drugs for the rest of her life and we should notice a difference in about a weeks time. Thank goodness for pet insurance.
One problem with these new tablets is that she has to have them an hour before she eats. Now she usually has her breakfast as soon as we get up. So we will either have to get up and hour earlier, give her the tablet and go back to bed, or she will have to wait for her breakfast, she won't like that.
